I strongly recommend SED Adventures !!!
Our Safari with SED Adventures and Giza piramids were the BEST we attended in 8 different countries during 23 days (visiting Tanzania was better than visiting Israel and even Dubai). Thank you so much !! We have a very nice picture with our Guide Anthon, so of course we will send some pictures !! They spoke good english and even some spanish !!
I strongly recommend SED to anyone interested !! (due to service-price-safely-and specially its fine personnel). A big hug. Ovidio Rodríguez- Costa Rica.

Worthwhile trip!
The two-day tour of Tarangire and Ngorongoro national parks was really worth it. I would recommend this for people on a budget and maybe with less time to cover the entire wildlife area of North-East Tanzania.
The big five very close to the vehicle coupled with amazing weather and scenery. What more could I ask for? The staff were great too, explaining all the way.

Wonderful experience
We have taken 3 day tours from Arusha with SED Adventures in January 2016: To Arusha National Park, Ngorongoro National Park and Lake Manyara National Park. SED Adventures was the only tour hosting service that took weather-depending reservations from Germany without prepayment or any deposit for all 3 tours. They even granted us our wish for a German-speaking guide. We stayed in contact up until shortly before our departure to Arusha, so that we were able to adjust our tour planning with SED Adventures depending on the weather forecast. We had scheduled a pick-up date for the day after our arrival, to go over all tours again in person. Everything went perfect. We paid the tours at the end of each tour day. As we were given a lot of trust from the start, the trust we put in SED Adventures was also well-placed.
Our gratitude extends especially to Anthon, who was able to make out animals in a faraway distance while driving, while we were only able to see them through binoculars or telephoto lens when the car stopped. His German-speaking colleague Harrison was then able to give us all the details in our language, which was very interesting and a learning experience.
We took the luxury of taking the safari tour only with my wife and myself and it was well worth it. Whenever there were interesting things to see, we were able to stop the car and take our time observing and taking pictures, even if it took a little longer.
Thank you again, SED Adventures for a wonderful experience!

Perfect 5 day/4 night solo safari Tanzania Northern Parks
Wow, what an amazing experience I just had with SED Adventures! Truly the trip of a lifetime and I will never forget it. Ngorogoro Crater was simply stunning and what more can be said about the wonderful Serengeti. Unbelievable seeing so much wildlife up close and personal and in their natural habitat. I will never go to a zoo again! Rema, my guide, and Bareeki, my cook, treated me so well and they really ensured I had the best safari experience possible. Gotta give a big shoutout to Laizer with SED too! He coordinated the whole trip for me and went out of his way to ensure I would have that trip of a lifetime. We had a great Skype session where he earned my trust before booking and from beginning to end he made sure all went perfectly. He made it his job to ensure I was happy and he is an incredibly nice guy too. I highly recommend reaching out to him and SED and I know I will definitely be back for another safari with them hopefully sooner than later. Asanti sana SED!!

Great 5 day trip in Northern Tanzania
Couldn't have been more happy with SED Adventures. They organised everything for us, and were easy to communicate with, and comparatively came out with a very competitve price (we tried about 10 other companies). The trip itself was fantastic with days in tarangire, lake manyara, serengeti and ngoroogoro crater. Our driver/guide, Anton, was also fantastic. He was considerate on the roads (drove very safely) and made sure we always got the most out of our 24 hour park passes. He was even a mechanic in a former job so when the car had a flat tyre we were back on the road again in 10 minutes. I would very much recommend this company.
Fantastic Safari to all the northern parks with SED
“This is my second Safari with SED and I would highly recommend them.
Our first Safari in 2014 was on the Southern Tanzania circuit and was throughly enjoyed by the whole family. My latest trip in November 2016 was for 11 days to the Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Tarangire. The driver guide in both Kenya and Tanzania were fantastic, especially at finding fabulous wildlife but also in making sure we always felt comfortable. Elifasi in the office was both patient and efficient in helping us put together our ideal and affordable itinerary. We stayed in a range of accommodation, including a budget lodge, some camping and some luxury lodges. The camping in Serengeti was definitely an experience but was ideal for starting each days Safari in the heart of the action. We had a great cook whilst camping who put together great meals and ensured all our dietary needs were met”.

13 day Kenya and Tanzania safari and cultural tour.
Maureen and I would like to thank you for the wonderful safari you and your colleagues at SED organized for us this past month.
Starting in Kenya at Masai Mara national park in mid September was perfect. Rhino camp was great , food delicious. Within a KM from the main gate and we travelled through a Masai village each day enroute to the gate.
We saw all the big 5 on our first day. A beautiful black Rhino appeared out of a grove of trees and meandered to another bushy area.
The park was thriving with animals and the landscape was lush.
We moved on to Tanzania on our 3rd day overnighting on Lake Victoria,” Serenity on the lake” . Wow, beautiful grounds and exceptional lodge and again delicious meals.
Next day relaxing on the lake followed by a safari on the Serengeti. Again an abundance of animals migrating south, more large herds of Zebra and Wildebeest.
We camped over night at Acacia Camp on the Serengeti, magnificent luxury tent, beautiful lounge and dinning room. We remained on the Serengeti, more incredible vistas and wildlife, overnighting at the Lobo Wildlife Lodge A must visit, gorgeous facility with a view of the Serengeti from it’s perch high on a rocky hill.
Over the next 7 days we visited Lake Natron, the Rift Valley, Manyara Park and Lodge and the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater and Ngorongoro Wildlife Lodge. We just marveled at this place.
We then visited Tarangire National Park staying at the beautiful Rioka Tented Lodge. We travelled back to Kenya making one last stop at another beautiful Lodge, Amboseli Kibo Safari Lodge.
All of our accommodations were excellent, clean, friendly staff, great hosts for visitors to their country. Delicious meals and not to forget we had a picnic lunch packed for us most days. A safari picnic was unexpected however one of the highlights of our vacation.
The guides/ drivers of which we had 3, Daniel and Onesmas in Kenya and Anton in Tanzania. Knowledgeable, friendly, courteous gentlemen that were in large part the most important element of our 2 weeks in Africa.
SED”s safari package for my wife and myself was wonderful. Our accommodations, meals, transportation, cultural visits exceeded our expectations. Thanks to you we saw the great vistas and animal life of Kenya and Tanzania in comfort and safety.
I would happily recommend to anyone planning a visit to Africa to certainly contact SED for a tour package.

Amazing short tour, Expert guide!
A well organised tour that allowed me to visit these two amazing parks, Tarangire and Ngorongoro, and get up close to see the wonderful animals. Thank you very much Elifasi in the office for the great communication and a great itinerary and to my guide Sied for his expert knowledge of the animals and areas covered. Also thanks to the guy who met me at the hotel at the start of the tour and once again on departure from Arusha to make sure everything had been all good. Cheers and thanks!

Well organised individualized trip to cover the areas we wanted to see in Rwanda and Uganda
The trip went well , very well organised and we did see what we wanted to – including the trip to the Gorillas – amazing.
Our guide/driver was excellent – a very careful and good driver on sometimes appalling roads, he was also a great game spotter – we got a marvellous experience of tree climbing lions! Do pass that on to the company you used.
One of the unexpected highlights was the trips on the boats – to Kazinga channel, to the Murchison falls and to the source of the Nile. Especially in the first two – we had great game viewing from the comparatively cool of the boat with excellent close up views of a wide variety of animals. While Uganda does not have the huge numbers of game we have seen in say Botswana and Kenya – this way of seeing them was great and could be promoted for Uganda.

SED Adventures and tours did a great job
Wife and I just completed a 10 day Northern Circuit tour of Tanzania with SED. Beginning with excellent correspondence and planning from Laizer in the communications dept., who answered all of my questions and presented reasonable alternatives to potential problem areas for us, to our awesome driver/guide Anton, the trip went off without a hitch. We have taken several safari tours before, never in Tanzania, however, and were never disappointed in our guides, but Anton is the best. He is a very safe driver over some awful roads getting to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, and his game spotting ability is amazing. All in all, a wonderful trip.
